I’m an accidental toy photographer. I started out taking photos of Lego minifigures in unsuspecting patches of moss in Southern California. Then I stumbled upon an amazing community of photographers who were doing the same thing. Okay, maybe you weren’t doing it while trespassing in your neighbor’s garden, but you were photographing toys.

While my star, Larry the stormtrooper, has a bold sense of humor, you can often catch him pondering deep thoughts or frolicking with a bunch of his mischievous friends. I hope you enjoy our adventures. May the brick force be with all of us. You can find me on G+ and Instagram.

I’m Ryan, a software geek for a paycheck, a nature photographer for sanity, and I also collect LEGO minifigs. I puttered with toy photography a few years ago, drifted away from it, then found myself dabbling at it again, especially when the weather of yet another nasty, New England winter combined with a health issue to keep me at home far more than my creative needs could stand. I realized the toys I was “collecting” [read: gathering in a box] were right there, waiting on me to pay attention. They are all just tiny, quirky characters, each with a story to tell, and I’m the guy they are counting on to make that happen.

I’ve since come to enjoy shooting toys more and more; no longer just a means to keep me creative, it’s become just as much a passion as photographing wildlife or moonrises or autumn foliage. And discovering the Toy Photographer community on G+ has been huge! I have been educated, inspired, encouraged… and, most importantly to me, amused beyond all expectations.
